Why is my AVD not working?

In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt,vt-x) is not enabled". Go to your BIOS settings and enable Hardware Virtualization. 3) Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.

Why is my AVD Manager not working?

SDK Build Tools are not installed If it fails then you may have to install it again. You look at the build tab at the bottom of the screen, it will display the error message and option to install the Build tools. Install it and you should be able to see the AVD Manager. Another way is to go to the SDK Manager.

The Emulator is very slow to start up. Even on faster computers. In my experience, it is quite normal to get the "error loading preferences".

Does the process of loading the emulator stop when you get that message, or does the emulator window pop up?

You could try to just let the emulator run for a bit longer, maybe 2-5 minutes and see if that helps. On my SSD only 8gb laptop, the emulator needs about 90 seconds to start.
